Bug description:symlink should create backslashs
Description:
------------
Most people are using forward slashs, even on Windows. But there is a
problem with symlink().
As you can see in the example, the symlink is created as given in the code.
Of course, many programs can't work with slashs, e.g. cmd.exe internal
functions. The symlink data it read by programs "as is", in this case
"./foo.php". And a "/" is not working in cmd.exe (or other programs).
Thus it would be nice, if symlink() on Windows is changing "/" itself to
"\".
Test script:
---------------
In the shell:
php -r "symlink('./foo.php', 'bar.php');"
dir bar.php
type bar.php
Expected result:
----------------
28.02.2011 17:49 <SYMLINK> bar.php [.\test.php]
Content of test.php
Actual result:
--------------
28.02.2011 17:49 <SYMLINK> bar.php [./test.php]
File not found.
